February 2010 snow


The rare S.C. snow was beautiful. It started snowing Friday evening and by Saturday morning we had about 4 inches on the ground. Beautiful light, fluffy stuff. By Saturday evening, most of it was gone. We hardly ever get snow in SC but when we do, it doesn't hang around long.

Linda, Steve and Arlene's Feb. visit



Steve and Arlene were on their way to Hilton Head for a little R&R and stopped by for the weekend. Linda came down for Saturday and Sunday. Lloyd got sick at the last minute and couldn't come. We missed having Gordon and Nancy here as well

Trying mobile posting.
Well...a new blog. A clean blank page on which to record everyday happenings and memorable events. So with this white space before me, my mind has gone blank. I don't think I'm a computer whiz but I don't think I'm completely incompetent with them either. But there are some things computer related that are so much easier to beg one of the kids to do than to take the time to figure out for myself. Today, I took a deep breath and found the courage to do three computer related things that I usually would try to get Jacob or Lora to do. 1) I loaded pictures on a memory card and got the digital picture frame that has been in the box collecting dust up and running. (That wasn't so hard) 2) I called tech support for the D-link router (please, Jacob, won't you call them for me, PLEASE?). This one took a lot of courage. I hate talking to those people..even when they are attempting to speak English, I can't understand what they are saying. I spent three hours on the phone and we reset, reconfigured and reprogrammed the router only to find it was a very simple problem with my computer, not their router. Exhausting! 3) I set up this blogspot without assistance from one of my children. (This one wasn't so bad either). So, while today was uneventful, it wasn't without accomplishment)
